I live in a basement room and the local thugs have decided that the pathway outside my window will be their gathering place for deviant and stupid discussion.
One idea I had is to buy a small panel of wood about the size of the whole window, then drill some holes in the concrete below the window for a hinge and open and close the wood panel outside as I please.
The problem is the wood is gonna have to be a tight fit in order to block out the noise and it has to have the ability to open and close.
What is the best way of going about doing this?
Thanks
